Here we showed that in migratory cardiopharyngeal progenitors of the tunicate Ciona, the transcription factor Foxf is necessary to upregulate the collagen receptor Ddr, which senses the extracellular matrix and functions to promote both cell-matrix adhesion and collective polarity through presumably independent, incoherent feed-forward pathways.
Fibrillar type I collagen is the major organic component in dentin matrix and functions as a stable template to spatially regulate mineral deposition and growth [ 1– 3].
Plasma FN is then deposited and crosslinked to the provisional FN-rich matrix, and functions to stimulate platelet adhesion and aggregation, and fibroblast spreading and invasion into the clot.
In order to distinguish the sampling matrices and basis functions for two kinds of decomposition, let Γ 1 s and b1 denote the sampling matrix and basis functions for the first kind of decomposition and Γ 2 s and b2 be the sampling matrix and basis functions for the second kind of decomposition, respectively.

The frequency-response function matrix and correlation function matrix of the system response are derived from these equations based on the theory of random vibration.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and related enzymes (ADAMs, ADAMTS) and their inhibitors control matrix turnover and function.
